How to make Suji Ke Laddu
- Step 1
Mix semolina, milk, and cream to form a sticky dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out one portion and cook it on a hot skillet over low flame, applying ghee on both sides until crisp and golden. Let it cool down.
- Step 3
Break the cooked flatbreads into pieces and blend them in a blender jar until smooth.
- Step 4
In a pan, melt ghee and add the blended mixture. Mix in cardamom powder, powdered sugar, and fried dry fruits.

Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into balls. If needed, add a little milk to help bind them. Your soft semolina ladoos are ready.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the flatbreads are cooked evenly and crisp to achieve the right texture for the ladoos.
If the mixture feels too dry while shaping the ladoos, add a small amount of milk to bind them.
Use fresh malai (cream) for a richer taste and texture.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar as per your preference.
Store the ladoos in an airtight container to keep them fresh for a few days.
